Insurance

The Inter-University Council Insurance Consortium (IUC-IC) was formed
in 1998 by a majority of Ohio's public colleges and universities in
order to realize benefits from the group purchase of property and
liability insurance. Through collaboration and cooperation,
participating in a pooled insurance arrangement allows the
institutions to reduce the impact of underwriting, pricing, servicing,
and coverage limitations.

IUC-IC COVERAGE

The following is a brief summary of the IUC-IC coverage. The summary
is not intended to provide limits, deductibles or premium information.

Provides bodily injury and property damage protection for claims arising from the operation of university vehicles. It also provides excess liability coverage for employees using personal vehicles for university business.

Provides protection for the physical loss or damage to property in which the University has an insurable interest and the cause of which is the result of an insured peril.

Certificates of Insurance

A certificate of insurance validates the existence of an insurance
policy. It may be issued by an issuer or an insurance agent or broker.
A certificate of insurance should include the following:

Certificates to Other Parties

University groups using non-University facilities are often required
to furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of
insurance coverage by the University.

Many times, a Memorandum of Insurance (MOI) is sufficient to
demonstrate proof of insurance. A MOI provides information about a
company's insurance program. This information includes policy numbers,
limits, and insurance companies. The MOI has no signature and the
certificate holder's name is not shown. Also, the MOI does not have
the standard cancellation wording that is contained on a Certificate
of Insurance. Marsh, BGSU’s insurance broker, makes additional
information and a printable MOI available from their website. To view
and/or print visit the Marsh website.

Other times, a facility or entity requests a Certificate of
Insurance (COI) naming them as an additional insured on our policy.
To request a COI, complete the COI Request Form and submit to Risk Management.

Certificates from Other Parties

When others are contractually required to provide the University
with a certificate of insurance, a copy of the certificate should be
sent to the relevant department and to the Office of Risk Management.

Bowling Green State University is committed to the prompt reporting
of potential insurance claims. The Risk Management department is
responsible for notification to insurers or their representatives
following a loss. Reporting by university departments who have
experienced a loss is required to the Risk Management department as
soon as possible following an accident or loss per the guidelines
below.

BGSU has partnered with our insurance broker to offer various options
for those who might need to purchase insurance. Students Organizations
may need to purchase liability insurance for a specific event, or may
need to purchase a policy in order to rent equipment or an off-site
facility. Vendors required to provide proof of insurance before
working on campus may also utilize this service.

CampusConnexions offers Student Special Event Liability Insurance,
Vendor Liability Insurance, and Renters Insurance among other types of
policies. Visit CampusConnexions for
additional information and to receive a quote and purchase a policy.
